thanks, Kompass, for the new links

[Vgr]

It would be good to point out that this is extremely buggy and no support will be given anymore.

[Kompass63]

I had no problems with both and could even connect.

Don't use this, use Aali's driver instead.

Yeah, i combine this Launcher (with HP, Magic and Damage addon,  version 1.4 without dx_hook) with Aali driver (for graphic). Work great so far.

guys how to run these mods on the Steam version?

[Jordancyre]

OK so this is like a four year old thread...  But I have questions and it's worth a shot anyway.

What do each of these add-on's do?

Hard.dll = Hard mode with weapon damage modifications as stated on page one of this thread.
Damage.dll = Damage cap removed
HP.dll = HP Cap Removed
Magic.dll = ??
Publish.dll = ??


Really just Magic and publish I have no idea about.

Magic makes it so that you don't lose magic when you cast it, I believe.

Publish gets rid of the Square Enix logo.

I made these mods work with the Steam version of FF8 by using them with DLPB's RaW DLL injector, but I know he's changed it since - and I'm not sure if the injector works properly anymore.

Do you happen to know what files the magic.dll changes? One of the popular suggestions for an FF8 mod is to have magic not be exhausted in combat (so that it doesn't affect junctions).

Look here.

That's fantastic; cheers, bud.

Thanks so much I have the steam version and it would appear that this is not working anymore.  Not a huge deal as the game is wonderful as is without the add-ons.  But I like different flavors on my umpteenth time playing through it

[Jordancyre]

Actually they may work...  I was just an idiot and might not be using them correctly.  I will test now.

[Jordancyre]

hmmm...  It would appear that the program can't see the dlls.  I have them placed in the correct folders and I think the settings are correct.  Can you double check for me?  I've attached images.

Code: [Select]

This is my settings file

[HextLaunch]
File=FF8_Launcher.exe
Process=FF8_EN.exe
Window=
LoadHext=0
InjectDLL=1
NoInput=1
Delay=1000
WorkingFolder=MyFolder1

And http://imgur.com/a/81l20 is what my folders look like.

I have the dlls put in the dll_in folder and the Hext_in folder

Here is my log file

Code: [Select]

FF8_Launcher.exe is already running.

Succeeded in loading by Process Name.

I've tested a few times and just can't get it to work.

Any help is greatly appreciated

You can use Cheat Engine to apply the patches I linked to in my previous post without needing to inject dlls.
